Abstract

The article discusses the Poetry Project, a nonprofit organization that has been promoting experimental poetry and performance for over 50 years. Recently, the organization showed solidarity with Palestine by signing on with the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. The article emphasizes the importance of cultural institutions like the Poetry Project in challenging cultural norms and addressing moral crises. It also provides a brief history of the Poetry Project, which began in a church in New York City and has since become a central meeting place for poets and artists. The project has evolved over the years, hosting events such as the annual New Year's Day Marathon, and remains committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community of poets and artists.
